Captain-Included Private Boat Rental in Washington, DC
With Have Yachts Club, every private charter comes with a USCG-licensed captain included — so no one in your group needs a boating license, and no one has to drive, navigate or dock. We are the DMV's private boat-charter concierge: we own our signature Party Pontoon and coordinate the captain, itinerary, boarding and timing for you. Your only job is to show up and enjoy the Potomac.

Why Have Yachts Club
Have Yachts Club is a full-service private boat-charter concierge on the Potomac. We own and operate our signature Party Pontoon (from $400, up to 8 guests) with a USCG-licensed captain included, and our concierge can arrange a larger boat — a two-deck catamaran or a luxury yacht — for bigger groups on request. One team handles the boat, captain, timing and boarding, so you just show up and enjoy the water.
You Relax, the Captain Drives
A captain-included charter means the licensed professional at the helm takes care of everything on the water — leaving the dock, navigating the Potomac, choosing a safe route, and bringing everyone home. Your group is free to eat, drink, take photos and enjoy the DC skyline instead of worrying about the boat. It is the easiest way to get on the water in the DMV, with zero boating knowledge required.
A Concierge Behind Every Charter
Have Yachts Club is more than a boat — we are a private-charter concierge. We match your group to the right vessel, include a USCG-licensed captain, confirm your James Creek Marina boarding details (or Diamond Teague at Navy Yard when arranged), and keep your timing on track. If your party outgrows the pontoon, our concierge sources a larger catamaran or luxury yacht so the whole plan still runs through one trusted team.
